The Night Star is the same tack driver as yours, difference is cosmetic. The gun was accurate right outta the box.! What a joy to shoot! Once you get used to the .45 recoil ( big difference between them and 9mm) they are super fun to shoot. ! Totally different recoil impulse, more of a "push" than a snap!!
Farthest shooting with a .45 is 50 yards one handed in bullseye/precision pistol competition. Colt. I too have a Kimber Shadow Ghost I use in 2 gun competition. Extremely accurate, a joy to shoot.
That first mag, you looked a little intimidated. The Kimber Shadow ghost is next on my list very soon to buy. When I was in the U.S. Marines, we did our pistol qualification with 1911 .45 acp all the way out to 50 yards. But our service 45's was junk and had to aim off target at rocks or clumps of grass to hit the 50 yard targets. I won't own anything other than a 1911 .45 acp. Thanks for the video! Nice!!! I killed a deer at 110 yards away with a Colt 1911 .45. Semper Fi
Put a deposit on a used one, was looking to get a colt but fell in love with this thing. Will be paying 711$ OTD… I’m in NJ where everything is taxed and inflated due to availability.
Nice! It's worth the money. Mine shoots great. Just make a video shooting some HP rounds at ballistics gel with it. It was fun. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
Yea its now my favorite in my collection. I put a short video on my channel of me hitting my Steel Target at 85yrds. It was pretty cool. Took me a few shots but I got it. I'm going to be filming a new video soon shooting 5 different brands of hollow points at ballistics gel with it. Thanks for the support and thanks for watching. Don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
Cool deal I have one myself noticed you’re right handed but left eye dominant that’s wild I know a few people like that but it doesn’t seem to bother you at all keep up the great shooting
Great video. I have found that Remington and Winchester white box hps seem to work the best in 1911s In general. Some 1911s don't like certain hollow points because of the shape. I have seen hst and critical duty jam up before but every gun is different. I know Winchester makes a hollow point specifically designed for 1911s. Thanks for the videos!
Great video and thanks for sharing. It's great to see what Kimber can actually do instead of the same old bash on them videos. I have this exact gun waiting for me at my favorite LGS. I'm sure it will be as smooth running as yours.
Hey thanks for the support. This pistol shoots great and me already hitting bulls with it. Such a great light wight 45. Worth every penny! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
Stumbled across this vid I have the same weapon and really enjoy it. Put 1000s of rounds thru it. Actually shoots as good as a few of my more expensive CZs. The .45 is sweet I did notice that you close your eyes before the shot I know its hard really hard to keep them open anticipating the explosion we call it, there are drills to fix that have someone else put in a few snap caps not knowing where they are in the mag it will show all kinds of shit that we do, takes time even the best in the world do it sometimes, keep both those peepers open and your shooting will go to another level. Nice gun good vid.
Thanks for the info an support. So I'm right handed but left eye dominant. It's kind of weird but I am going to start training myself to keep both eyes open. It is a little hard but practice makes perfect. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
Kimber does make a nice pistol but my lw had the worst trigger of all the Kimber handguns I have ever owned. Gritty and felt like been in a sandbox. Owell ended up rebuilding with great trigger
100 yards with a Colt Defender. Held about a foot above the target and hit mid torso. It was at the sportsman club, and a guy came by and said you can't hit anything with a short barrel .45. Well I showed him, but I quit while I was ahead after the first shot . . . LOL
Got mine from Gunprime for $628 shipped. Feels like I stole it. 600~ rds through it so far and not one hiccup, only been cleaned once to knock the factory grease off.
It shoots great. I'm getting better with my aim pretty fast with it. Definitely worth every penny. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
I was eyeballing the Springfield Operator constantly, went to Cabella's to pickup a SW M&P 2.0 that I bought online used them for the FFL. While I was there I saw a Kimber Custom LW and bought it too. Beautiful gun, I have not had a chance to fire it yet. But I still find myself eyeballing that Springfield Operator and I am a little sad I didn't hold out for it.
Why do you people insist on shooting a pistol beyond 15 yards. 1911 is great but very few pistols are ment for 25 yards or beyond. Practice at combat distance of 15 yards
.45 does feel so good. Now I want this model!
Yes ! I did shoot a Kimber Stainless .45 @ 25Yds, 3Bulls, All the rest in a 4" formation ! This GUN is ACCURATE ! and I love the trigger pull.
matter of fact I had just bought one today online (8-15-2024) I like it

Pretty good shooting my friend. I love my kimbers and I think you’ll love this one too.
Twins! This was the first firearm I decided to purchase, needless to say I was a very happy camper! 🤠

You’ll get a little less kick should you decide to pick one up with a steel frame.
50 yrd steel target with my RIA 1911a1 fs .45 with 230 grn slugs with standard iron sights. Took me 3 shots to find POA.

Have you shot hollow points out of this gun if so how did it run?
Happy 4th of July 🇺🇲
I've been eyeballing one of the two tone lw. I wound up buying a Springfield trp operator instead but will still probably get this gun

15 yards all center in an ordinary playing card. Military issued Colt 1911 Viet Nam era issue.
Nice! I'm going to keep practicing with this one. It's so fun to shoot. Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎👍
100 yards. I hit an old football helmet on a stick. Took 6 tries.
ok you convinced me to get one.;)
You won't be disappointed!
Do you still shoot the ATI AR pistol?
Yes I do. Still shoots great. I will make an update video on that one soon. Thanks for watching!
@@FREEDOMEAGLE556 I purchased one in large part because of your videos.Best kept secret out there!Guess this Kimber is next!Thank you!!🇺🇲

50 yards with a Glock 21 gen4
Nice! Thanks for watching and don't forget to subscribe 😎 👍
is it aluminum frame?
Yes
Match grade barrel, full length ss guide rod, Upper Slide is steel, lower receiver is aluminum.
100 yards
Why do you people insist on shooting a pistol beyond 15 yards. 1911 is great but very few pistols are ment for 25 yards or beyond. Practice at combat distance of 15 yards
Forced to buy fuel at midnight in West Memphis, my targets could have been 15 to 40 yards. So ya, I practice out to 50...
furthest I've hit with a 1911 was dead center at 1000 yards
Cap
Ummm Not
lol
